Hello list! I have developed a software library for rendering 3D scenes. It would be very cool if I could use the fb device so that X needn't be running, freeing considerable resources for the application Note that it is a _software_ renderer, I don't need access to 3D hardware acceleration, just a means of copying/bliting frames to the screen as fast as possible, and a double buffering facility So what I need is an api allowing me to - Set the screen resolution/colour depth. (16bit colour depth or better is required) - Allocate front and back buffers - Copy scene to back buffer - Swap buffers synced with vertical refresh Does fbdev have the facilities I need?
